TERM 4 Semester 2 - VOL 39 7th December, 2018
RMIT Outreach Program to KTHS
This year KTHS participated in an STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Maths) program
with RMIT University designed to improve educational outcomes for students in country areas and
promote further interest in STEM. Year 7’s looked at car crash testing to design the most effective
way to minimise harm to passengers in a car accident. They also looked at air rockets, trying to fly
them through hoops testing aerodynamics. Year 8’s studied Herd Immunisation and how germs
spread. The students were thoroughly engaged and enjoying themselves.
International Day of People with a Disability
Last Tuesday students from KTHS attended Atkinson Park to provide assistance in running a
program for the International Day of People with a Disability. While there, they assisted with
workshops like painting Christmas Trees, making bubbles and dancing. A big thank you to Mardy
McDonald, Jordan Bassett, Toby Winfield, Abbey Pay, Taylah McNeil and Sam Burandt who did
themselves and the school proud by getting in and getting involved. Your assistance was very much
appreciated.
Wilson’s Prom Walk
Next week nine students head off to Wilson’s Promontory to begin an 6 day hike. This is a fantastic
opportunity for the current group of KTHS and continues a tradition that started back in 2002.
There has been some wonderful memories during those times including spectacular weather,
sightings of flora and fauna, amazing sunrises and sunsets and lifelong memories. We look forward
to hearing about your adventures when you get back.
